One great alternative to flaps is the 3M paint protection film, it's virtually invisible and it does a great job protecting from stone chips, etc.
Once it's on just wash with the rest of the car, also available for the front bumper, hood, etc. (more info available here: click, place did my car)

This was the best improvement for the money by far, less than $100.00.
Anyway, I hade major reservations about the splash guards, even after I received them, from Mid America by the way, I looked at them and thought, maybe not.
Long story short...... I popped them on this morning, about a 10 minute job and all I can say is that if you have any reservations about putting these on your car DON'T, they blend right in and actually look factory. They don't bother me at all and no one would even notice them unless they were pointed out.
The benefits far outweigh any perceived cosmetic change. Big thumbs up !!

You can't explain it any better than this and the part about no one noticing until you point it out is absolutely true.

Unlike motorcycles, I prefer automobiles stock.
Small guards that require no drilling, etc. and can be removed with no trace of their having been there are a plus .
(On the downside, the product appears to be sold out and I'm no fan of PayPal.)
